The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Skerne, about 40 m from the middle of Aycliffe Village's gauges. It flows into the River Tees about 23 km downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Skerne nearest the middle of Aycliffe Village's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
